Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Evaluation of the returned 5f select confirmed that the catheter was fractured.This damage typically occurs if the device is manipulated or torqued against resistance during advancement.The distal fractured segment was not returned for evaluation.Further evaluation revealed bends throughout the length of the device.Based on the returned condition, this damage was incidental to the reported complaint and likely occurred during packaging of the device for return to penumbra.Penumbra catheters are inspected during in-process inspection and during quality inspection after manufacturing.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.H3 other text : placeholder.
